ALETHEIA
VOL II: THE BINDS OF FATE
A Ben-Hur Saga
Justus Pilate is exiled in Parthia, his once favoured family all but destroyed by forces in the shadows of Imperial Rome. To say nothing of the love of his life who died a hero’s death. Or so he thought. And the keys to his freedom? They are a curse he dare not use.
Until, one day, a message comes that forces his hand. Justus’s brother Cassius lives! However, he soon discovers Cassius is not the man he once was. His path has turned to blind vengeance, his rage a winnowing fan at the embers of a new faith. A faith destined to cover the world, but not without bloodshed. The haruspex has seen it. Save Cassius does not believe in destiny, much less that he has a role to play in a much bigger game than he realises…
About ALETHEIA: Empire in Shadow
Driven by a deep curiosity for the untold, the unseen, and the unresolved — exploring history’s shadows through thoughtful, immersive storytelling.
Beneath the grandeur and spectacle of Imperial Rome lies a hidden empire — not one built of stone, but of silence, secrets, and visions too dangerous to speak aloud. Aletheia opens a doorway into that unseen world, where shadows move faster than soldiers and destinies are written not in scrolls, but in sacrifice. This is not the Rome of conquest and ceremony, but of fevered ambition, sacred warnings, and uneasy alliances. In these pages, we follow those burdened not by title, but by what they know — or fear they’ve seen. It’s a tale of conviction clashing with survival, of moral ground eroding beneath every step. And through it all, the question lingers: what would you risk to change the course of history, if you knew what was coming — and no one would believe you?
Inspired by the scale and intensity of the Ben-Hur saga, Aletheia reimagines the historical epic as something darker, more intimate, and fiercely human. Religion, empire, and identity twist together in the margins of official history — and it is in those margins where truth begins to emerge. This is a story not of chosen heroes, but of those pushed into consequence: sons and soldiers, seers and survivors. It is about the invisible weight of legacy, the cost of silence, and the haunting pull of what might have been. Within its layered world, loyalty is tested, faith is weaponized, and the line between vision and madness is never quite clear. For readers drawn to stories that unearth the soul beneath the empire, and the echoes of personal choices through time — Aletheia offers a path both timeless and timely.

A storyteller at heart and a strategist by trade, Luigi A. Kohli explores the quiet tensions that shape history — the unseen moments where power, belief, and consequence collide.

"I enjoyed very much reading the book. I like historical books that take real history and persons and make them (history and the people) come alive and interesting. Authors like Conn Iggulden. I also liked that there were twists where main characters are brutally and unexpectedly ended. Overall it's a great read if you like these kind of books."
